Talks by big names in the fashion world, exhibitions, workshops and catwalk events will all be part of the agenda over the next week across the city. Roland Mouret's retrospective of Norman Parkinson's fashion photographs - some of which have yet to be exhibited in public - is not to be missed, as well as a hands-on class with fashion illustrator David Downton.

Certain to be a highlight, the event is hosting Liz Cox's pop-up miniature factory, producing one-off designer British bags right before the public's eyes. Milliner Stephen Jones, model Jade Parfitt, fashion writer Iain R Webb and interior designer Nina Campbell have each submitted a design to be brought to life by the Bath-based bag company. In keeping with the celebration of all things British, the multitalented Bath local and Olympic gold medal Winner, Amy Williams, has designed a blue, red and white sports satchel which is our favourite.

As well as being a showcase of quality, craftsmanship and British identity, the event will donate the finished collection towards a charity auction which will aid the Royal United Hospital Cancer Care Appeal. Make your bid online on the April 26 at
